Nanami looked at the gray lump and realized in his heart that the original plan of 500 million taels might be overturned.
Sure enough, Ren only looked at it for a moment and then spoke directly.
"The old plan is scrapped."
Everyone in the preparation hall stopped.
Nanami couldn't help but said, "Sir Clan Leader, the 500 million tael plan is almost finalized, and Hokage Tower is also preparing to approve it. If it is scrapped, the preliminary surveying and mapping, building material negotiations and drawings will have to be redone."
Mabui also raised his head, his tone was still calm, but he could hear the caution in it.
"If we switch to this new material, it would be fine to simply replace part of the wall, but if we completely redo the structure, the budget will increase significantly and the construction schedule will have to be rearranged."
After Tsunade learned the news, he quickly arrived with Shikaku.
She picked up the budget scroll and frowned after listening to Mabui's explanation.
"Is the 500 million tael plan not enough?"
Ren said, "Not enough."
Shikaku asked, "How much does Clan Leader plan to add?"
Ren has no bends.
"Five billion taels."
The preparation hall fell silent instantly.
Tsunade looked up suddenly.
"Five billion? You doubled it ten times?"
Shikaku was also obviously stunned for a moment. With his character, he couldn't help but look at the Concrete hard block again.
Originally, five hundred million taels was already a large investment, enough to build a prosperous commercial building complex on that wasteland, but Ren opened the door with five billion taels. This was no longer an increase in budget, but a complete improvement of the positioning of the entire Super Amazing City.
Nanami's breathing became slightly tight.
Mabui also stopped writing for a moment, and then continued counting.
Tsunade stared at Ren.
"Are you sure you want to do this? The wooden and stone double-story shops are enough for use. Land of Fire wood is cheap, land does not cost money, and labor can be recruited in large quantities from the village. The original plan has low investment and quick results, and is safe for both Konoha and Uchiha."
Ren looked at the gray lump on the table, his voice was low, but he suppressed all hesitation.
"What was built with 500 million taels is just a wooden and stone shopping street."
"What I want to build is Shinobi World's first truly modern Super Amazing City."
He pushed the original drawing aside and pointed at the new area plan.
"The main street, warehouses, hotels, auctions, and ninja tool trading... none of these can be done according to ordinary shopping street standards."
"Wood buildings are cheap, but the upper limit is too low."
"If there are too many goods, too many caravans, Fire Release, explosive charms... If anything goes wrong in any part, the whole neighborhood may be burned down."
"I want to redo the main body with a steel Concrete structure and build Super Amazing City from the beginning into a core landmark that can withstand decades of expansion."
Tsunade's face changed after hearing this.
Shikaku finally understood why Ren dared to increase the budget ten times.
Mabui quickly flipped through several pages of calculation manuscripts, his voice more serious than before.
"If a steel Concrete structure is used, the initial investment will skyrocket, but the later maintenance, fire protection, load-bearing and expansion capabilities will far exceed that of a wood and stone structure."
"Land of Lightning compensation and mineral resources can support the purchase of steel, and Uchiha's cash flow is sufficient to invest in installments."
Nanami looked at Ren, and the familiar vibration surged up in his heart again.
What others see is the cost.
What Mr. Clan Leader sees is the pattern of the next few decades.
Tsunade was silent for a moment, and suddenly put the scroll on the table.
"Since Uchiha is willing to pay the money, Hokage Tower has no reason to stop it."
Shikaku also nodded.
"The plan needs to be re-examined, but if it is built according to this structure, Super Amazing City will be much stronger than the original plan and more suitable for undertaking transnational trade routes."
Ren didn't look at the old drawings again.
"Five billion taels will be invested in phases."
"The original planning of all double-story wooden and stone shops has been redone, the main structure has been changed to steel Concrete, and underground drainage, road load-bearing, and storage fire protection standards have all been raised."
"Super Amazing City is not a short-term money-making stall. It will become the most important business hub for Uchiha and Konoha in the future."
In the preparation hall, several old Konoha craftsmen looked at the hardened Concrete, their fingers trembling.
They have been building wooden buildings and stone houses all their lives, but they never thought that one day, buildings could be cast in one piece in this way.
Mabui unfolded the blank scroll again and started writing a new budget sheet.
Nanami immediately asked someone to notify Hundred Arts Hall to expand trial production.
Tsunade looked at Ren and finally understood that this guy never intended to make a small fuss.
Konoha has experienced Nine-Tails' Attack in the past, and has also seen Fire Release set fire to the entire block in one roll during the Ninjutsu battle. The more prosperous the wooden building shopping street, the more people died in the fire.
Ren is well aware of the epoch-making value of Concrete. Shinobi World Building Materials, which has never appeared before, can completely avoid the safety hazards of wooden buildings that are prone to fire.
In the preparation hall, the entire roll of old drawings was removed, and the prices for the wood, stone, and roof tiles that had been negotiated were also pushed aside by Mabui.
Several Konoha old craftsmen gathered around the hardened gray material and touched it over and over with their fingers, unable to suppress the surprise on their faces.
Tsunade looked at the blank plan spread out again on the table and frowned.
"Ren, do you really want to tear down all Super Amazing City and redo it?"
Ren stood in front of the drawings with a very steady tone.
"It's not about tearing it down and rebuilding it, it's about building it to a higher standard from the beginning."
Nanami glanced at the densely packed budget marks, and his breathing became slightly tight.
"Five billion taels is not just as simple as spending more money. The main structure, foundation, roads, drainage, warehousing, fire prevention, and freight dispatching all need to be redesigned. The craftsmen and materials required are at least several times the original plan."
Mabui The pen in his hand did not stop, and his voice remained calm.
"If we follow Lord Clan Leader's request, all ordinary wood and stone shops will be cancelled, and both sides of the main street will be replaced by steel Concrete main bodies. The load-bearing standards of the storage area will be increased, and underground drainage must be laid in advance."
"As a result, the construction period, labor, and transportation costs will increase exponentially."
Tsunade couldn't help but look at Ren when he heard this.
"Five billion taels is scary enough. Do you plan to increase it further?"
Ren did not deny it.
"Super Amazing City is not an ordinary shopping street, nor is it a stall used by Uchiha to make quick money."
He reached out and pointed at the center of the drawing.
"I want to make it a Konoha landmark and a model for the entire Shinobi World to see the value of Concrete."
The preparation hall was quiet for a moment.
Several craftsmen looked at each other, and Shikaku also stopped turning the scroll.
Ren continued,
"Shinobi World is not short of stone or wood, but it is short of a material that can be reproduced on a large scale, can be constructed quickly, can be fireproof and load-bearing, and can support taller and larger buildings."
"Concrete's advantage does not depend on us shouting it out."
"When Super Amazing City is built, the merchants of Land of Fire will see it with their own eyes, the caravans of Land of Lightning will see it with their own eyes, and the craftsmen, ninjas, and envoys sent by Daimyo from other countries will see it with their own eyes."
"They will see that Concrete walls are more stable than rammed earth, more fireproof than wooden buildings, and more suitable for large-scale construction than blocks of stone."
"At that time, Uchiha will not need to ask anyone to buy Concrete."
"They will take the initiative to buy it."
